even the gods... ;-) you can tell the eloquent idiot on the other end of reason that at least on a mac, it's easy to install nt, as opposed to installing it on an intel box at home i use virtual pc on a mac 8600/250 and actually have no trouble at all; at work i use a pc, alongside a mac and boy oh boy... anytime i ask something simple like: "install a second browser", those guys with all their experience and titles go like "yes, well, you know ..." and that means a lecture on the intricacies of the os and how wonderful the next version will be (needless to say that most of the time my -in my eyes simple- questions take months and months to implement, while i can do all those things on a mac without having to resort to command-line-type solutions, and without having to have a grade in computerwizzzzzar(s)dness) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Koen van Hees E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LdV/Partners Ad Agency http://www.ldv.com Balansstraat 117 B-2018 Antwerp (Belgium) T: +32-3-2410250 F: +32-3-2487344 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael A.
